Does Botox Affect Allergies?

KWebb
I am currently allergic to NSAIDs along with certain fruits (bananas, apples, watermelon) as well as pollenns and such. I currently get monthly injections for my allergies and it has kept me under control for several years. I recently starting experiencing Blepharospams and my ophthamologists is recommending Botox to deaden the nerves to lessen the the Blepharospams. Do you thing that there will be any adverse affects of the Botox in my system that would trigger my allergies listed above?
